AUSTIN, TX—Thousands of people who escaped the desolate wasteland of California have found new opportunities by moving to Texas. To help them feel right at home, even the weather is extending some Texas hospitality by knocking out power stations-- giving the former Californians a taste of the blackouts they're used to. "Ah... just like old Gavin Newsom used to do back in Cali," said local resident Alice Muggins while lighting candles around the house. "I just wasn't used to having electrical power all the time and it felt really weird. Now, it feels a little more like home!" According to sources, former Californians are helping people in their Texas communities who have never experienced something like this before. From how to prepare food without electricity to how to use an emergency generator, the Californian immigrants to Texas have been instrumental in keeping their communities alive in the midst of the outages. California Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to gloat in a Facebook Live post, but his phone died and he was unable to charge it due to a power outage. https://babylonbee.com/news/people-...finally-feeling-at-home-now-that-power-is-out
I found out something really interesting when trying to understand how a cold snap and a little snow could cripple an entire state, especially a state as large and rich as Texas - the entire state is on a single power grid with zero connections to any outside energy supply. How is that even possible? I understand the issue with the wind turbines but they should have had a plan in place for that. This is the poster child for poor government.
Only 82,000 in 2019. You idiot. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/11/20/653551-folks-left-california-in-2019-where-did-they-go/
Median price of a home in California: $717K Median home price in Texas: $218K The largest migration normed to population? Nevada. Which is a blue state. Imagine.
Fortunately global warming will put an end to all that cold weather. And in other good news, we are all scheduled to be dead in 12 (which is 8 now) years as a result of climate change, so that will eliminate a lot of worries too.
